Chapter 446 Dark Caves in the Deep Sea Reef
Chapter 446 Dark Caves in the Deep Sea Reef
As for whether Chu Chen would touch those valuables, Bai Qianchi was not worried at all.
In Bai Qianchi's eyes, since Chu Chen had made a promise to him, he would keep his word and not covet these valuables.
Chu Chen saw Bai Qianchi lead people out of the cave and thought to himself that he was quite sensible.
With a wave of his hand, all the jade essence in the entire room was stored in his spatial storage.
However, Chu Chen only glanced at the other valuables and other items before losing interest.
For him, the Hundred Thousand Pools were far more valuable than these valuables, and besides, he didn't really need them.
After collecting the jade essence, Chu Chen also arrived on the ground.
When Bai Qianchi saw him come up, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother, I have finished dealing with my business. In order to keep my promise, I will take you to find the stone you need."
"Oh, it's done so quickly?"
"The Bai family has already elected the next family head, and they will be at the dock to welcome the arrival of the Great Xia army."
"And as the young master of the Bai family, my mission is complete!"
After listening, Chu Chen thought to himself, "That's pretty fast. He probably planned all of this in his mind a long time ago."
But what does that have to do with me? All I want is jade essence.
He then turned around, picked up the walkie-talkie, and instructed Chu San and Xiao Shiliu to wait on Luo Zhong Island.
They were also told that if the soldiers of the Great Xia Army needed them, their machine guns and sniper rifles could also be used.
But the premise is that you don't reveal your identity.
After doing all this, Chu Chen followed Bai Qianchi and boarded a small boat belonging to the Bai family.
Rowing towards the deep sea.
On the ship, Chu Chen looked at Bai Qianchi with a puzzled expression: "You mean, the kind of jade I want is at sea?"
"No, to be precise, it's on the seabed!"
"The seabed?" Chu Chen pondered deeply after hearing this.
So far, in almost every country I've visited, they seem to collect jade essence.
However, no one is able to use this item. To this day, the only ones Chu Chen knows of are the Flying Bear clan, who feed on it.
So why is every country collecting this item?
Could it be that this thing was useful a long time ago?
Or, in places unknown to us, there are some people who might find this useful.
Now that we've heard that this item also exists at the bottom of the sea in the Hundred Thousand Pools, let's set aside the value of the jade essence itself and explore the reason for its appearance on this land.
The small boat moved forward, but its speed was driving Chu Chen crazy.
Compared to their own coast guard vessels, they are ridiculously slow.
But this time, they went to the deep sea, so Chu Chen didn't plan to reveal too much for the time being.
You should know that the ocean is far more terrifying than the land.
You can know a person's face but not their heart; always maintain a skeptical attitude towards everything, even things that have already reached an agreement with Baiqianchi.
Two days later, the small boat came to a steady stop beside a reef.
Bai Qianchi and Chu Chen stood on the deck.
“Brother, ahead there is an entrance. Many years ago, it was the mine where you needed that kind of jade.”
"I don't know when it started, but it was gradually abandoned."
"The people inside also seemed to have disappeared overnight, so what remains inside is no less than what Su Yifu collected."
Chu Chen glanced ahead and then turned to look at Bai Qianchi.
"You mean you brought me here to mine?"
He thought to himself that these things were everywhere in this land, and he didn't expect them all to be dug up by him.
At this moment, Chu Chen felt as if someone was pointing at the railway tracks and asking him to sell iron.
"No, no, brother, since we are on Luozhong Island, we still don't know how to use this thing, so the stones inside are easy to dig out."
"Alright, you'll come in with me. Since you're following me, you'll be my miner."
After saying that, Chu Chen jumped up in an annoyed manner and headed towards the reef in front of him.
Bai Qianchi followed closely behind: "Brother, over here!"
Following Bai Qianchi's guidance, the two soon arrived at the entrance of a dark cave.
The waves crashed against the rocks, making a series of splashing sounds.
But inside the cave, it was unusually quiet.
Chu Chen looked inside and asked, "Do you know why those people disappeared without a trace?"
"I don't know, I only remember my elders telling me that, according to ancient records, a jade miner suddenly disappeared overnight, and since then, no one who has entered the cave has ever returned alive."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen kicked him in the butt.
I was thinking, "What the hell are you doing? You made me dig first, and now that we're here, you're saying no one who went into the cave has ever survived."
Then why would I even bother going?
"If that's the case, then let's go in and we'll both be dead."
Bai Qianchi shook his head after hearing this: "Brother, your strength is far beyond that of ordinary people."
Chu Chen rolled his eyes at him after hearing this, then took out a kerosene lighter and turned to say something.
"Don't go in yet, let me try first."
As expected, Chu Chen went in with a kerosene lighter less than fifty meters before the lighter went out instantly.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly returned to the ground: "Forget it, I'll try to go in, but you can't go in. If you go in, you'll die without even realizing it."
After listening, Bai Qianchi looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression: "Why is that?"
"Why, why? There's no oxygen inside. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let's go back to the ship and wait!"
Amidst Chu Chen's furious cursing, Bai Qianchi had no choice but to return to the ship to wait.
Seeing Bai Qianchi leave, Chu Chen took out a flashlight and walked into the cave.
Then, after walking about thirty meters, he took out an oxygen device from his spatial storage, carried it on his back, and, with a powerful flashlight in hand, ventured inside.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chu Chen felt a cracking sound under his feet.
A chill ran down my spine.
Wherever the flashlight shone, human skeletons, as well as various tools and weapons, could be seen everywhere.
But after walking deeper for about half an hour, suddenly, under the light of his flashlight, he saw that the wall was inlaid with countless stones that emitted a green glow, which instantly excited him.
So he strode forward, pried off a piece, held it in his hand, and felt the energy emanating from the jade.
"Hmm, it seems to be purer than the usual one, and it's somewhat similar to what the Flying Bear excreted."
For Chu Chen, who possesses spatial collection capabilities, collecting these jade stones was incredibly easy.
With a thought, the jade on the wall vanished into thin air and entered the space where his palm swept across.
However, what we see right now is only a small patch.
As you continue walking, you gradually hear the sound of flowing water.
Soon after, Chu Chen looked at the cave filled with water and instantly understood why it was said that anyone who entered this place would surely die.
With oxygen blocked, given the current technology in this world, it would be truly a miracle if someone who came in survived.
